The bishop tells you that a diplomat sent to Theramore to meet with
Jaina Proudmoore never arrived at his destination. The king's agents
are already looking for the diplomat, but the bishop has his own contacts
that he'd like to involve.

The bishop hands you a sealed letter, and asks that you deliver it to
a fisherman named Jorgen, in the Valley of Heroes, and follow any
instructions he may have.

Elling Trias is a man with fingers in many cheeses. And to save on
coin, you are his latest courier. Or agent, or whatever. Elling hands
you another letter (sealed, of course) to take to Watcher Backus in
Duskwood. Ask him about Defias activity, suggests Elling.

It is a long run to Addle's Stead, but you get there. Sure enough, there
are defias all over the place. Over their objections, you retrieve a
docket of information from a chest at this hideout, and return with it to
Watcher Backus.

After looking at the documents only briefly, Watcher Backus hands the docket
back to you, saying it's too complex to be just a red herring. Definitely
"above his pay grade". He directs you to take it back to Elling Trias
in Stormwind.

Elling, in turn, reads through the documents himself, and tells you that this
is definitely his area of expertise.

When you do, though, Dashel takes exception to you prying
into his business. So much so that he sics his friends on you. You defeat him
(without actually having to kill him), and he calls his friends off.

You find Mikhail in the inn in Menethil Harbor. He greets you warmly,
and moreso once you reveal that Elling Trias sent you. As it happens,
Tapoke "Slim" Jahn is in the inn with you, listening intently. As you
notice him, he decides that discretion is the better part of valor and
attempts to slip out unnoticed.

Too late for him, though. You give chase, and subdue him and an accomplice
in front of the inn.

Private Hendel is to the west, guarding some of Theramore's
infiltrators who have come back from trying to locate Brackenwall, the local
Horde base. Archmage Tervosh promises to catch up with you for the
showdown with Hendel, but has business to attend to first.
